What To Expect with the Lordex Program
Pain Is Your Body Talking To You
Medication may provide temporary relief, causing you to ignore the signals of pain. If your body is telling you something is wrong, and you simply ignore its signal, your injuries are likely to worsen over time. Long term use of some medication requires stronger and stronger doses (not to mention an increase in the risk of addiction). Ccovering up the symptoms with medications like aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, cortisone, and other heavier medications may not only result in side effects like liver, kidney, or gastrointestinal damage, fatigue, depression, and nausea, but fails to address the mechanical source of your Low Back Pain.
Taking medication without correcting the cause of pain is like covering your ears to drown out the scream of a smoke detector. The fire is still there, whether you can hear the smoke detector alarm or not.
